The gown-wearing students of the magic school play a sports game with a flying golden ball, are divided into houses (like the Raven one) and have lightning scars.
I’m talking Mashle, the Magic and Muscles anime.
Due out on the 7th of April, with Crunchyroll simulcasting even as Japanese TV screens get it, Mashle isn’t shy about its inspiration.
Hajime Komoto began serialising the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in January 2020, with 15 volumes released in Japan. VIZ Media published the manga in English, with Volume 11 due out on the 14th of March, 2023.
Since Crunchyroll is streaming the show, they give us the synopsis too;
This is a world of magic.
This is a world in which magic is casually used by everyone.
In a deep, dark forest in this world of magic, there is a boy who is singlemindedly working out.
His name is Mash Burnedead, and he has a secret. He can’t use magic.
All he wanted was to live a quiet life with his family, but people suddenly start trying to kill him one day and he somehow finds himself enrolled in Magic School. There, he sets his sights on becoming a “Divine Visionary,” the elite of the elite.
Will his ripped muscles work against the best and brightest of the wizarding world?
The curtain rises on this off-kilter magical fantasy in which the power of being jacked crushes any spell!
